Open Source Support Program

We are happy to support qualifying open source projects with free subscriptions for our products. As a core contributor to an open source project, you may qualify for a k6 Cloud subscription, at Developer or Team level, whichever is more appropriate to your needs.

Eligibility Requirements

You are a project lead or a regular committer to the project.
Your project meets either the Open Source definition or another comparable source-available license.
Paid sponsorship, or funding from commercial companies or organizations should not exceed the point where you can afford the expense.
This includes NGO, education, research, or governmental organizations.
You may not provide any paid support, consulting or training services for your project.
You may not distribute paid versions of your OSS software.
You are not applying on behalf of any paid contributors of the project.
Your OSS project has been in active development for a minimum of 3 months.
Your project's community is active and you have a Code of Conduct.
You release updated builds on a regular basis (introducing at least minor changes every 3 months).

If your project does not meet our eligibility requirements or if you have any questions, please contact us at opensource@k6.io.
Your project may still qualify for possible discounts under other programs.

Subscription Terms

Subscription is provided one year for free for the two plans (Developer and Team).
Subscription renewal is available on request if your project still meets the requirements.
Subscriptions are provided only to core team developers.

Subscription Restrictions

Subscription can be used for non-commercial OSS development only. You must purchase a separate license for commercial projects. Load Impact reserves the right to suspend subscriptions which violate this requirement.
Use of the software is restricted to the licensed user with no right to transfer the rights to any third parties.
